This expository paper proves the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators as a corollary of Bott periodicity. In this interesting paper, authors give a simple exposition of the topological proof of Atiyah-Singer. The proof given here has the merit that it applies with no essential changes to the equivariant case and the families case.
